LAMAR's confirmation is now consid-
cred very doubtful. In 1879 Senator
Edmunds offered q resolution declaring
the 18th, 18th aid 18th amendments to
be valid and q part Of the constitution.
Mr.. Lamar voted against the resolution.
For this and many other reasons 1t 10
thought that MI. Lamar is not a safe
man to put in Il position where he may
be called upon for a decision under these
amendments. During the same year
Mr.. Lamar made q speech in the SEN
ate from which the following is an ex-
tract
Jefferson Davis stands in precisely the
position that I stand in. y The
only difference between myself and Jsf-
ferson Davis is that his exalted charac-
ter, his pre-eminent talents, his we'll es-
tablished reputation as a statesman. as
q patriot, as a soldier, enabled him to
take the lead in a cause to which I con-
secrated myself. - 3 His name
will continue to be so honored for his
participation in that great movement.

The New Drug Store.

II. G. Hansbrough, mayor of Devils
Lake, and editor OF the INTER-OcEAN,
was in the city over Sunday. Mr.. II.
has formed a partnership with J.. NJ. La
bold, and the latter's drug stock will
he removed to Devils Lake about Jan. l.
Mr.. Labold has been with us for about
three years, and while we regret very
much his departure from this city, we
are glad to see him prosper. as1he has 8
large field in his new location. Tho peo'
pie of Devils Lake will find Mr.. L. to be
one Of tho most competent pharmacists

EDWARDS attended the Democratic
notification convention at Aberdeen for
the purpose of being chosen to carry
the memorable Washington. He wasn't
chosen. This Is tho second time Ed
wards has sought recognition at the
hands of the Democracy, and the sec
ond time he has been knocked out.
A man claiming to be q Republican
who has nc more respect for the Repub-
lican party than to seek favors at DEM
ocratic hands deserves just such treat
ment as Edwards has received at the
hands of Church and the Aberdeen
nullifiers. The place for all such pollti.
cal mountebanks is in tho Democratic
ranks, and we trust they may finally
succeed in getting there.

DON'T TEAR DOWN THE FENCE!

Fifty thousand million dollars will be
the sum total of the internal trade of the
United State this year. This IS the trade
that takes place along our sea coasts, on
our lakes and rivers and over our rail
roads; in other words, our home trade.
Around this enormous field of bargain
ing and traffic the national legislatures
have erected a strong fence-protection
with here and there u gate. These
gates swing outward, so that they are
virtually open to the free exit of our
wares and productions. 1t costs moth.
ing for anyone within the United States
haying more beef, or wheat, or any 9TH
er marketable article than he can dis
pose Of at home, to pass through these
gates and sell his surplus to the hungry
throng outside the fence, This condi.
ton of things has existed for a quarter
of a century, and the development of
our country and prosperity Of our peo-
pie have astonished the world.
In the midst of this era of progress
and prosperity u man who took no part
whatever in the erection of the great
national fence that protects the products
of those within and excludes the CHI cap
labor wares Of those without; Il man
whose political affiliations have kept
him in a position of opposition to every
species of protection to American in
dustries and American interests, boldly
proclaims that the gates must be re-
arranged so as to swing both ways, SC
that the hungry and poorly paid Eu'
ropean may come III with his wares and
compete in our home markets with
those who have been receiving good
wages and are now enjoying the benefi'
cent fruits of a wise protective policy
Not only does this mar who has been q
consistent stranger to our protective
system demand that the gates shall
swing both ways, but he says the fence
must be torn down, so that there may
be no impeachment to the hungry thron&
without who are waiting for an opportu
nifty to get inside with their goods; &C
that there may be u grand free com
mlngling of the manufactures of tho
world where hitherto I'LL foreigners have
been compelled to pay a license for the
privilege of selling those articles which
domestic soil and domestic industry Can
produce, thus bringing the hungry and
low-waged operatives of Europe into
direct, unlicensed competition with the
thrifty, high waged operatives of Amer
lea, and ultimately reducing him to the
pauper level of the European operative
This IS the purport of President Cleve
lands message. The adoption now Of
the theory Of Mr.. Cleveland would bring
that theory into ultimate practice. Mr..
Cleveland would have the protective
fence RACED to the ground, and the for
eign manufacturers would knock the
hinges of the gates.
In the patriotic language Of Gen
Dix adapting it to the tariff question:
"1fany man tears down that fence, ehoo'
! him a the spst."

CHURCH WINS.

The Aberdeen meeting turned out
just as the INTER-OcEAN predicted. A
few designing men, who were the IN
stigators of the alleged call and signed
numerous fictitious names to it, sue.
coed in putting themselves to the front,
and gave themselves the apparent
authority to go to Washington this win
ter to disgrace the people Of Dakota.
"Ordway" Johnson, a man of malodor.
GUS fame, heads the socalled delega-
ton, and will pose this winter as the
representative of 100000 people who
pining for admission as a whole"
There are two elements at work to
overthrow the will of the people as e
pressed at the ballot box Nov. 8. One
element is anxious to keep Dakota out
of the Union so that they may enjoy
the emoluments of Office. This ele-
ment is headed by the imported gov.
ernor. Statehood in any form would be
disastrous to his salary and notarial COM
mission fees. The Aberdeen meeting
suited the purpose Of Church and his
followers, as it was ntagonistic to diyis-
ion, and being antagonistic to division
will eventuate in a fight at Washington,
which will give MI. Church's party the
much desired opportunity to repeat the
old chestnut, "Dakota doesn't know
what she wants." This will lead to the
further desired opportunity of the De-
mocracy to defer action, and the Dako-
ia question will be thrown overheard
for another year.
The other element interested in de-.
feating the division majority is COM
posed Of the old Republican bosses COM
monty known here as "the gang" This
element is determined to defeat any
movement for the good Of Dakota
which "the gang" does not originate
and control. This is the old proxy ele-
ment, the political bandetti, the leaders
of which have hitherto assumed to
speak and act for the people, and in SO
speaking and acting haye brought shame
and disgrace upon the territory.
These two elements-the element
headed by the imported autocrat Of the
territorial Democracy and the element
composed of the old dictators and man.
ayers of the Republican party-met at
Aberdeen by authority OF an anony-
NOUS call to which a great many fcti'
tious names were attached. The first
work of the meeting was to declare that
the division majority of 1900 didn't
amount to anything and should be an.
nuled. Having agreed thus far, the two
elements crossed swords for control Of
the meeting. After examining a letter
from Congressman Springer down the
throats Of the old Republican bose.
and in many other ways loading them
with humiliation, the Church element
captured the socalled convention, and
selected q delegation to go to Washing
ton who will keep Dakota out of the
Union at all hazards, and perpetuatc
the reign Of the Hoboken attorney.

How will those believing the protec-
tiyetarf to be such Il terrible burden to
the laboring men, explain that laborlng
men, lmmigrated from Europe, every
yea. send money-a good pile of mon
ey-to their homes? 1t is queer that
poor people from Europe come to this
land robbed by ''monopolies and the
tariff" and IN 4: short time be able to
send money home, and in time become
rich themselves.

REDUCE the tariff one-half, and the
volume of imports would he immedl-
ately doubled. This would leave the
surplus exactly where it stands now
Reducing the tariff will not reduce the
surplus. If you would wipe out the
surplus you must wipe out the tariff.
Is the country ready for such a thing!
No. Will 1t ever be ready? Not while
1t IS q nation with q big N; not until it
becomes a dumping ground for free

A Henlous Crime.

contains the particulars of the arrest
and examination of Horace w. Hatha-
way upon a charge of rape perpetated
upon the little nine-year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Michael Gale, residing
in Benson county. The prisoner does
not deny the charge. He waived exam
ination and was held in $4,000 bonds.
He ls in Jail. His victim is quite serious
ly injured, but her condition is not dan
gerous. Hathaway had a bad reputation
prior to this, the climax of his meanness.

ABERDEEN Democrat is the title of a
new paper just started by Geo. L. Shoals
1t resembles all Dakota papers-bright,
crisp and newsy. Just why Major Bar
rett's Democratic paper isn't large
enough to fill the Bourbon field at Aber

that the Democrat is a Church organ
as 1t is rumored the major and the

GEN. HANCOCK discovered, and so did
his party, that the tariff is not "a local
ISSUE" The Republican patty has al
ways maintained, and now maintains,
that 1T is n national issue. The little
p%ettifogging editors and politicians who
insist that it ls a local Issue can easily
have their political ancestry traced back
to the advocates of state sovereignty.
